A severe glitch affecting ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, exposed the titles of some users’ past conversations.
According to a Bloomberg story, a recent bug appears to have given other users of OpenAI’s ChatGPT access to the titles of some users’ previous chats with the AI chatbot.
After receiving reports of this bug, OpenAI temporarily shut down its ChatGPT service on Monday morning.
As a result of the fix, users could not access their chat history on March 20, reported Chief Executive Sam Altman.
An OpenAI spokesperson reported to Bloomberg News that “the titles were visible in the user-history sidebar that typically appears on the left side of the ChatGPT webpage … [but] the substance of other users’ conversations was not visible”.
The US startup OpenAI released ChatGPT in November. It was soon taken up by users who were impressed by the bot's ability to respond to complex questions and assist with tasks such as composing emails, essays and code.
